Internal function names appear in type signatures #149

It's lovely when elm-repl prints out a <function> signature for me:

> List.map
<function> : (a -> b) -> List a -> List b

It's less lovely when the <function> value includes the internal name of the JavaScript function:

> negate
<function:negate> : number -> number
> (\x -> x + 1)
<function:d_e_l_t_r_o_n_3_0_3_0> : number -> number
> import PhotoGroove exposing (Msg(..))
> SetHue
<function:_user$project$PhotoGroove$SetHue> : Int -> PhotoGroove.Msg

It really seems like it would be better if all function values displayed as <function> and that's it.

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

Realized this should be in core
